Posts like this are important, but unfortunately in vain, I'm afraid. Those who still don't understand it will never understand it. I think they don't want to. I don't get it.

    I'd say it's still important to post and talk about, not for the people who know and don't care, but for the people who don't know and do care.

    Yes, I think so too. I just can't understand why so many people aren't able to hold those who are to blame for their misery to account. Instead, they allow themselves to be duped by their own enemies. It is incomprehensible to me how people can be so stupid.

    Post like this are misinformation because people don't understand the difference between revenue and profit.

    In any case, the tax burden is not proportionate. You can't be serious.

    Oh yes. For the individual, very few costs can be deducted from taxes, and investments are not considered costs.

    There's also different tax rates and subsidies available to businesses that individuals can't access.

    But my point stands. People always get angry about large revenues which are not taxed. Changing the system so that a tax is also levied above the line is not impossible.
